December 30, 2025
12:00pm - 1:00pm

The Troubadour, aka our friend Bob Gaudio, returns to serenade us with a musical tribute to the man who gave the world uplifting and memorable ballads like Rocky Mountain High and the internationally beloved,  Take Me Home Country Roads.

Robert J. Gaudio is a husband, the father of three children, a grandfather of four, an actor and director of local theater productions, and a retired criminal-defense attorney with the Ohio County Public Defender’s office. He practiced law for over 25 years after working for various amounts of time as a steel-mill worker, a university professor, a fine-dining chef, and a restaurant manager. He's been playing instruments since he was 7 and has written music since the age of 17. Musical influences span over half a century –including, in addition to John Denver, the big bands, Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Ricky Skaggs, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Lady Gaga to name only a few. Bob has performed in coffee houses in the 1970s in Morgantown and learned to love the acoustic genre and the socially-aware tunes that arose from the early 1960s in Greenwich Village.
